1 a' suffrage sweetheart.”
a . . >—
You told me you loved me. ’Twag long ago
That, we strolled where the mystical moon
beams were shed.
No doubt you'd repeat what delighted me so
If again like the moth to the candle 1 sped.
Your affection went lame
When election day came
And Mehitnble Jones got your vote—oh, for
shame!
I depended on you when for office I ran,
Yet you failed me because 1 was only a man.
You told me you loved me. Fair false one,
go tol
How craven you flinched in a crisis supreme!
Was this the devotion which taught me to woo
And made all my life an idolatrous dream?
The vote was a tie
Till your ballot came by,
And Mehitable Jones was the chosen, not I.
Through you twice a victim my record I scan;
Disdained and because I am only a man.

MR. DANIEL PETERSON DEAD.
The sad news of the death of Mr
Daniel Peterson reached Douglas last
Saturday afternoon. While the an
nouncement of his death was expected
yet it was a great shock to his large
circle of relatives and friends here.
The end came peacefully and quietly
at 11:15 o’clock Saturday morning.
Mr. Peterson was one of the most
extensive planters and largest mer
chants of the county, his store at Pick
ren being the center of trade for the
lower half of the Pickren district. He
has one brother, —or half brother,
rather—in Douglas, Mr. Benajah Pet
erson, besides hundreds of relations in
this and adjoining counties; in fact
the Peterson family is one of the larg
est and most influential families in
Southern Georgia.
Mr. Peterson’s remains were laid to
rest in Bethel churchyard Sunday.
He leaves a wife aud six children to
mourn his death.

Merit
Is what gives Hood’s Sarsaparilla its great
popularity, its constantly increasing
sales, and enables it to accomplish its
wonderful and unequalled oures. The
combination, proportion and process
used in preparing Hood’s Sarsaparilla
are unknown to other medicines, and
make Hood’s Sarsaparilla
Peculiar to Itself
It cures a wide range of diseases because
of its power as a blood purifier. It acts
directly and positively upon the blood,
and the blood reaches every nook and
corner of the human system. Thus all
